MP A LOVE OF MY LIFE The village of Haydon Bridge, in Tynedale, lies comfortably between three suitors of outstanding natural beauty; flirting with the southern boundary of the Northumberland National Park, kissed by the extremes of the North Pennines and forever a close companion of Hadrian’s Wall (now a World Heritage Site). This village where I have spent my life, on the banks of the great river Tyne, courts the affection and shares the joy and pleasure of such close companions and yet is happy to maintain its independence. And why not? Haydon Bridge and its surrounding parish, is itself a place of romance and legend and of extraordinary heritage and rare beauty, waiting to catch the eye and tempt any would be admirer to delight in its charms. Stand on the bridge whose ancestor gave my 14c village its name, and gaze westwards as the reflections from a bright sun and clear blue sky play on the singing waters of the Tyne, or watch in awe as the dark clouds from Cumberland deposit their burden into the torrent thundering below you. Look to the east, where the salmon leap the waterfall in season and the majestic Heron stalks its prey. This is a river crossing that has endured the border raider, inspired the famous artist and stimulated the passionate poet. To the north our 12c chapel of Haydon, keeps a brooding and mysterious vigil over the remains of an ancient settlement, while above and to the south, Langley Castle stands tall and proud overlooking its mediaeval barony. I invite you to share my friend’s delights, trials and tribulations by reading The Haydon News on line. THE HAYDON NEWS Editors: Mike Parkin.

BY T. SOPWITH, LAND AND MINE SURVEYOR, ALNWICK: PRINTED BY AND FOR W. DAVISON. SOLD ALSO BY THE BOOKSELLERS IN NORTHUMBKK LAND, DURHAM, CUMBERLAND, &c. MDCCCXXXIII. 1-. % u%A/ PREFACE. The Lead-Mining Districts of the north of England comprise an extensive range of highly picturesque scenery, which is rendered still more interesting by numerous objects which claim the attention of the antiquary, the geologist, and the mineralogist, and, in short, of all who delight in the combined attractions of nature, science, and art. Of these districts no detailed account has been given to the public; and a famihar description of the northern lead-mines, in which so many persons in this part of the kingdom are concerned, has long been a desideratum in local literature. The present volume aspires not to the merit of supplying this want; but, by descriptive notices of the principal objects of attraction, is intended to convey some general ideas of the nature of the lead-mining districts, and to afford some information which may serve as a guide to those who visit them.

    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries John Fenwick Collection of Radcliffiana 1600-1853 3 vols. (1 linear foot) Call no.: MS 989 Collection overview The title Earl of Derwentwater was created under King James II in 1688 for Francis Radcliffe of Northumberland, and for sixty years thereafter, members of the Radcliffe family stood among the most prominent Jacobites in the north of England. One of Francis' grandson, James, the third Earl of Derwentwater, became embroiled in the Rebellion of 1715 and was beheaded in the London Tower for high treason, and another son, Charles, the so-called 4th Earl, was beheaded for his part in the Rebellion of 1745. Assembled by John Fenwick, who may have been a distant relative of the Radcliffes, this collection of Radcliffiana includes a mixture of original documents, 19th century transcriptions of originals, published works, and prints, all pertaining to the Jacobite Earls of Derwentwater. Set into paper frames and bound into more or less elaborate leather volumes, the documents cover the period from the English Civil War through the fallout after the execution of the 3rd Earl. They are focused primarily on the personal fates of the Earls, their Northumberland estates, and the genealogy of the Radcliffe family. See similar SCUA collections: Europe Background on Radcliffe family The title Earl of Derwentwater was created in 1688 for Sir Francis Radclyffe from Dilston Castle, Northumberland. The Radcliffe family, Catholic and ardent Royalists, had been prominent among the northern nobility, but the shifting political fortunes of the seventeenth century had exacted a toll: the family fell under suspicion of involvement in the Gunpowder Plot early in the century and had their estates confiscated during the Commonwealth for Francis's recusancy.

  • The North-East and Yorkshire
    The North-East and Yorkshire The North-East is an area rich in Jacobite artefacts and places. This is unsurprising, since Northumberland was the place where the English part of the Fifteen began, and it was long an area where many Jacobites lived. Particularly good collections can be found at places such as Bamburgh Castle and Dilston Castle and Chapel, which both belonged to leading Jacobites (Thomas Forster MP and James Radcliffe, third Earl of Derwentwater, respectively) and still have impressive collections of Jacobite artefacts. Yorkshire’s Jacobite heritage is at first more surprising, as no Jacobite army ever set foot there. Moreover, although some Yorkshiremen took part in both the Fifteen and the Forty- Five, none of them left any substantial effects for posterity. However, the county has an abundance of Jacobite artefacts and imagery, both due to the presence of contemporary Jacobite sympathisers (hence the Jacobite imagery at Fairfax House, and the Jacobite collection at Nunnington Hall) and due to later collectors amassing some Jacobite memorabilia (such as at Temple Newsam). Bamburgh Castle, Bamburgh, Northumberland Bamburgh Castle was the home of Thomas Forster MP, one of the leaders of the English part of the Fifteen. Forster was one of the two MPs for Northumberland. Although much of the present castle is 19th century, parts of the original castle (ie. the one familiar to Forster) survive, notably the Norman keep. The castle has an impressive collection of Jacobite material: • Portrait of Thomas Forster [corridor] • Knife and fork belonging to Sir John Fenwick, an arch Jacobite who was executed for his Jacobite plotting in 1697 [Crewe Museum Room] • Fenwick’s sword [King’s Hall] • Dress belonging to Dorothy Forster.
